The IGS PGM thread

[RMRM]

Ketsui & DOJ conversions are for the PGM, not the PGM2

[kazuo]

Ha, right! I always mix them up, but you're right. It's PGM, not PGM2.

Good catch!

Warning: Thread Hijack.

I took my Joerg made Ikaruga cart apart. It works brilliantly, tbf.

Inside. Warning hot spunk (tm)

[Stompp]

Looks like someone sneezed all over the PCB

[RMRM]

Classic Joerg job

[colinmac]

Thing is, it's quite messy and a bit sad that another cart had to die...

BUT, it's actually brilliant too - no grindy whizzy GD-Rom loading rubbish, it's faster, quieter and all round better. It's kinda no worse than net-booting from a piracy standpoint.

Finally, mine was cheaper than the GD-Rom too. Go figure.

I don't necessarily condone it - but from a tech perspective, it's at least interesting...

[kazuo]

Holy ****, wow. I think I may open up my cart and take photos when I get home. That's not as bad as Drakon, but, it's still pretty awful.

[RMRM]

Cool
I can highly recommend Oriental Legend 2, KOV 3 & 2 (in that order), I've still not played any of the others titles on original hardware.

Well Paulie, not one of those, but i can tell you this one is the Bee's knees

[Paulie]

Nice score, it's a title that I've been really keen to pick up for a while now.

I've been playing a bit of KOV Seven Spirit recently. Another fun and fairly overlooked game which was only released in the arcades on Atomiswave hardware.

I have a CPGM with four player installed. A friend of mine made it for me. It's like a CMVS system. Very cool to have.

I only have 4 games though:

The Killing Blade Plus (real not bootleg)
The Gladiator
Martial Masters
Oriental legend

I need to buy some new PGM games soon. I'm looking for Bee Storm and maybe a few from the Knights of Valour series and Spectral Vs Generation, maybe I'll buy this on PCB instead. Demon Front also cool!

[stacey]

Looking for a consolized PGM system for my movie room. New to the boards so I'm limited in who I can contact. Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

[Paulie]

No idea who does consolized PGMs, what about a mobo and running it through a control box. It would be a far more versatile option.

[kitkit]

Newbie on this site.

I own PGM1 and I have been thinking of picking up PGM2. However, there are only 7 games available for it. The only games that I am interested are Knights of Valour 2 New Legend, Knights of Valour 3, and Oriental Legend 2. How do these games play comparing to their PGM1 counterparts?

What are the differences between Knights of Valour 2 Nine Dragons (PGM1) and Knights of Valour 2 New Legend (PGM2)?

Thanks

Ive just picked up Ketsui & DOJ conversions the PGM 1 Motherboard, is there anyway you can flip the screen with the DIP switches?

[Stompp]

Since the PGM mobo that came with my DDP2 kit from Yaton in the end did have an ugly battery leak I decided to buy a spare. To my surprise this one looked different and was equipped with a battery cell holder from the factory. I haven't seen this one before. Does anyone know if there's more revisions out there of the PGM mobo? And if there's any major differences?

Click the images for hires

[monouchi]

Really awesome and I have never seen that one before.

[Stompp]

Sadly the manufacturing date sticker is gone on it and I can't make out the other one, but I guess it's only a sticker for when the board's been checked. There's another one below it but I'm not sure I can get them apart.

[DaveyD]

I have 2 PGM1 mobos, You can see the tracks on the underside are a slightly different layout, but have never compared them both with the plastic removed. Ill have a look and compare them to your pictures

[Paulie]

Cool. I didn't know any came with a cell battery from the factory.

[jww]

Hiya,

Can a kind soul please tell me what capacitor I need to replace the one missing by the edge connector?

Hopefully I've attached 3 images ok!

Cheers,


Johnny
